My companions are the ones on the ends.

Letter #42 - Quick Update

June 12, 2017

Dear Friends and Family,

My companion and I got a call on Saturday morning from our mission president letting us know that we were going to be involved in an emergency transfer. We leave this morning. Sister Hatch is filling a Spanish vacancy in Denton, and I'm going to be in a trio serving in the Joshua and Centennial wards. In the meantime there won't be missionaries serving in this ward until at least the next transfer. Fun fact #1) Joshua - population 5k. Fun fact #2) I will have had 6 companions in 6 months. I don't know much more than that. They haven't provided me with an address yet, so I will send that when I get it or probably next week.

Love,
Sister Prue

Letter #41 - Highlights from May

May 29, 2017

Dear Friends and Family,

This month has been crazy, but first things first. I am being
transferred! I will be serving in the Highland Village Ward. It is in
the Lewisville stake/area. My new companion will be Sister Hatch who
was serving as a Spanish speaking missionary up until the last
transfer, but is now English speaking.

Other highlights from May include:

-My Birthday! Thanks for all the birthday wishes :) The sister
missionaries put on a scavenger hunt for me to find my presents, and
made me an adorable cake. My companion was really good to me.

-Mission Baptism Goal: At our mission tour with Elder Larry R.
Lawrence, the leaders in our mission (zone leaders and sister training
leaders) announced a goal of 100 baptisms by the end of July. They
encouraged us to reach for this goal by 1) Being believing 2)
Increasing in Obedience 3) Praying for it Always and 4)Making a
sacrifice. My sacrifice is to read the Bible dictionary, and I'm
really excited for it!

-Mother's Day: It's always good to hear from home and family. I have
been blessed with a particularly good one who has always been
supportive of me and my decisions.
Thanks for all your support and love!

Love,
Sister Prue

Letter #40 - Turning Things Around

May 8, 2017

Dear Friends and Family,

This week was full of door knocking and door slamming among other

adventures. As we started on one street, every one of the first four

or five doors answered, and as soon as they saw us, made some kind of

negative remark and shut the door before we even had time to say "Have

a good day!" After we had made it back onto the street from the fourth

or fifth door, the woman re-opened the door and yelled out , "God

Bless!" I think she must have felt a little guilty about the harsh way

she responded to us, and it reminded me of how quickly we can repent

when we realize that we have acted amiss. And for reasons that I don't

always quite understand, we were able to turn around and respond in a

like manner with genuine smiles and pleasure. We can undo so much of

the negative results of our sins when we repent immediately and allow

Christ to help us. I hope that I can be more like this woman and

recognize when I have done wrong and immediately try to make it right.

In other news, this week we will have the opportunity to hear from

Elder Larry R. Lawrence, which should be fun. He had an article in

last month's Ensign, which I particularly enjoyed. Thanks for all the

e-mails and love! I love all of you!

Love, Sister Prue
